(May) Annual beer festival on Jesus Green, hosted by Cambridge & District CAMRA.
The summer Cambridge Beer Festival is the longest-running CAMRA beer festival in the United Kingdom, having started in 1974. It is held at the end of May just before the Whitsuntide Bank Holiday. Until 2019, there was also a smaller winter beer festival held indoors at the University Social Club,. Both festivals were run by Cambridge & District CAMRA. The 2020 festivals were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the summer festival did not run again until 2023. The winter festival did not return as the University Social Club did not re-open post-COVID and is now in an area earmarked for redevelopment.

On Midsummer Common in early June.
Jesus Green was proposed as the site for Cambridge's main railway station, but is now a broad piece of parkland immediately adjacent to Midsummer Common. Provides a quiet retreat away from the city centre, and has grass and hard tennis courts, and an outdoor swimming pool. Plans are underway for redevelopment of this much-loved park in Cambridge.
Attractive grounds and sculptures scattered throughout.
Open daily, free. This 19th-century church is no longer used for worship but has been preserved as a rare example of the Arts and Crafts movement, featuring a highly ornate interior by Bodley, and windows and wall decorations by William Morris.
